BarCamp 2012 Status Update

[Andrew Shell]

Hey everybody, here's the current status of BarCamp Madison 2012.

http://barcampmadison.org/

We're having it on Aug 18th at the Engineering Centers Building.  We'll be sharing the space with the From Fumes to Funding; Incubate, Accelerate, and Capital to Grow event which will be treated as one morning track.  It seems like a really good content fit and will expand the barcamp audience to a wider group of people.  This is really exciting.

We need to get the word out though.  As of right now I'm aware of 3 sponsors.  The sponsorship amount has been lowered this year to $100 so more companies can contribute and be involved.  If you have connections to any companies that might be interested in sponsorship please reach out to them and direct them to http://barcampmadison.org/sponsors/

We also only have 8 people registered on the website.  If you're planning on attending please register.  This is great social proof so if someone shows up and is on the fence about attending, seeing a nice big list of attendees will help encourage them to sign up.  AFTER you've registered if you could go to the website and click "Sessions" and submit some session ideas to the google moderator that would be great as well.  Again, more social proof.

Please tweet/share/plus the website all over the interwebs.  We're going to have lots of space at the Engineering Centers Building so let's be sure to fill it up!!!

I have some leftover supplies from the Midwest Developer Summit/DrupalCampWI that I'll be donating to barcamp. Giant pad of paper, markers, pens, and some other things. I'll leave them at Bendyworks.

Have you dropped these off anywhere yet?  If you haven't I can pick them up from you.  Just let me know where/when is good for you.  Also, didn't you have a big session board that we used one year?  If so would there be a way to use that this year?

Cheers,
Andrew
